Boarding School Benefits

It is clear that students suffering from emotional or behavioral problems should attend a therapeutic boarding school because we offer a strong therapeutic component that isn’t found in traditional schools. There are also clear educational advantages. Although not directly germane to therapeutic boarding schools, The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) reports that students at boarding schools are more satisfied with their academic experience than their peers who attended a public school or private day school. Our students find their coursework more challenging and have more confidence in the quality of their teachers than students who attend school from 8 AM – 3 PM. Students also show noticeable increases in maturity, self-discipline, independence, critical thinking, and life skills. For further questions about the benefits, please feel free to send us a message.

Development and Growth

Cherry Gulch Academy alumni often report that the years they spent in boarding school are the central reference point in their life. Alumni tend to consider their years here as more formative and critical to their personal development than the time they spent in college or graduate school. Every day, our students explore athletic, creative, and leadership-building activities. They learn a strong work ethic and develop the focus they need for lifelong success. Boarding school students learn to take care of themselves (independence), as well as to take care of others (community), and they learn the importance of community service. In short, they learn lessons that will resonate throughout their lives.

Lifelong Benefits

The skills that students learn at boarding school help them not only in college, but beyond as well. The overwhelming majority of our graduates report that if they were given the choice to attend boarding school or to attend a day school, they would gladly repeat their boarding school experience because of the superb and dynamic learning experience that they encountered.
